Update 8/19/2013

If you've noticed, I have deleted all of my stories here on FictionPress. Due to a recent event, I had A Fairy Tale stolen and published without my knowledge or consent.

I want to be very very clear on this... I AND ONLY I WILL EVER PUBLISH MY STORIES THAT I'VE WRITTEN ON THIS WEBSITE. I WILL NOT SELL/GIVE UP MY RIGHTS TO THESE STORIES!!!! I WILL DECIDE WHEN THE PUBLISHING HAPPENS... NOT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WHO THINKS THEY CAN MAKE SOME EASY QUICK MONEY. THIS IS A CRIME!!! THIS IS ROBBERY!!!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!! YOU DESERVE TO GO TO JAIL IF YOU ATTEMPT TO STEAL OR PUBLISH WHAT IS MINE!!!

And trust me... if I ever catch any of my stories somewhere else without my awareness or consent, then you can bet that I will take every action necessary to bring you down.

It's a damn shame that this had to happen. I write and post because I love storytelling. I love to get feedback from my readers and I love that my stories have made a person's day or makes them laugh or cry or scares the crap out of them. And to be violated like this... it is very disconcerting and irritating. For the time being, I highly doubt that I will post another story on here. My stories are my children and I will protect them most fiercely if I need to. Even if it means that my readers have to suffer for one's crime. I can't take that risk that someone else might be tempted to steal my work and claim it as their own.

As of right now, I still have my FanFiction account and I will keep posting stories on there. As for my originals... I think it's better off that they are seen only by my eyes and the eyes of my friends and family. Then when I'M READY I will share them with the rest of the world.

It's been fun while it lasted FictionPress. Thank you for the memories,

Heather Grey
